Annual Report 2025/26

Dear shareholders,

2025/26 was a fiscal year filled with challenges for Südzucker Group. One of the key challenges was the sugar market, where persistently low prices significantly impacted our sugar business – much more than anticipated at the beginning of the fiscal year. Thanks to the broad diversification of Südzucker Group’s business segments, we are generally able to absorb such pressures effectively. This remains one of our core strengths, and one we will continue to rely on. However, in this fiscal year, it proved difficult to offset the losses in the sugar segment. Overall, it fell significantly short of our expectations.

We have developed a comprehensive set of measures for the entire Südzucker Group, encompassing various strategic initiatives. Thus we want to streamline processes and workflows, and ultimately costs, while maximizing efficiencies and value creation. All of the measures and initiatives contribute to our objective of achieving profitable growth as a group and are therefore core elements of our strategic development.

We are confident that, 100 years after its founding, Südzucker Group is well-positioned to continue advancing the company successfully.
